The Cube Youth
Engagement Group
File No.: CP2015/05658
Purpose
1. To
receive a presentation about The Cube and its Youth Engagement Group.
Executive Summary
2. The
Cube is a New Zealand collective impact agency that works with young people and
disability service providers to ensure that the people who access services are
included in the decision making process. The Cube works with young people with
disabilities who live, work, study or play in Auckland. The Youth Engagement
Group is part of the governance of The Cube.
3. Young
people from The Cube will present to the Youth Advisory Panel an initiative
that the Youth Engagement Group is working on for Youth Week 2015.
4. The
Youth Engagement Group has been disenchanted with the disability sector and the
way in which branding and marketing of who they are and their interests are put
forward in the public eye. They have a key aim in 2015 to change the branding
of the sector and to create a more accessible sector for young people who
experience disabilities.
5. The
youth week project is focused on recognising that young people in the sector
have a future and that they can have a legacy just as big as any rock star.
6. The
project will represent young people with disabilities in the style of iconic
album covers, movie posters, inspirational people, works of art and
photography. Its aim is to build young people’s confidence and know that they
too have a voice in Auckland communities: just because they are young and have
disabilities doesn't mean they can't be rock stars.
7. The
project has everything it needs for the event, through the generous donations
of time, expertise and in-kind promotion and gifting of resources such as Silo
6.
8. The
project aims to:
· exhibit 12 pieces
within the Silo
· photograph individuals
23 March - 3 April 2015
· create a 2016 calendar
of the exhibiting images which can be sold during Youth Week and all proceeds
go to the Cube Youth Engagement Group for them to use on other youth focused
projects
· take the exhibition on
a nationwide tour.
9. There
are three key delivery phases to the project:
· between 18 – 23 May,
the lead up to youth week, the exhibition will show re-mastered album covers
and invite the community to connect with young people at the Silo 6 exhibition
space. On 24 May the Youth Engagement Group will host the start of Youth Week
· sending photos across
New Zealand and asking New Zealand icons to participate in a “photos in spaces
with famous faces” campaign: though them having their photos taken with the
group’s album covers and uploading them to The Cube facebook page
· taking the exhibition
into other spaces around NZ and giving New Zealanders a chance to see why the
group thinks our young people are rock stars. The group has been offered the
waterfront/Wynyard quarter containers for the week 25 – 31 May 2015.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Youth
Advisory Panel:
a) thank
the young people from The Cube for their presentation about The Cube and its
Youth Engagement Group.
